Thursday, Feb. 17, 1916. ~ The senate has passed an amendment to the gallon-a-month law, mak? ing it lawful for a person to order either two quarts of whiskey per month or sixty bottles ^of beer. The measure has also passed the second reading in the house. Why allow any whiskey or beer at all to come into the State? By cutting it all out, the officers will have a chance to run down the blind tigers. .? ?. \ Hon. JL. D. Jennings, the live wire who made the primary so interesting duHng the last campaign, says that he has never had, and does not now have any intention of becoming a candidate for governor Jthis summer. This sets at rest various rumors that ; have been published in several papers to the effect that the former Sumter mayor expected to chuck his hat into the gubernatorial ring against Governor Manning. Some legislator has introduced a resolution which requires an investigation to be made to'ascertain if ''any of those claiming to be representa* tives of the press and enjoying the \ privileges of the press table . * * are members of the directorates of cor-} porations, and therefore, more inter-, ested in obstructing legislation than in giving correct news of the proceedings of this body to the public." Horns of Panurge! Whoever heard of a "representative of the press" being a director in a corporation? It may be possible in far-away Arcadia, but in South Carolina? It is unbe Mm lievable. By all means let's investigate. "One hundred years ago, 1816, according to the records there was no summer in this country," says the Greenwood Index. "January of that year was so mild there was no need of fires even in New England. Snows and sleet began in March and continued for months. There waw ?. blizzard in June and plenty of frost in July. The weather resumed its normal condition in September." Perhaps history, or rather the weather, is repeating itself. There were only two or three winter days in January, and Monday was the first day in February fires were needed. It is to be hoped that the centennial * celebration of that memorable year is not to take the same form this summer. s No Rural Credits. Columbia, Feb. 15.?In spite of earnest efforts from Senator Sherard to get his rural credits bill through, the senate tonight adopted an amendment, proposed by Senator D. Reece Williams, providing for a commission to be created to study the question of rural credits and to report their findings to the general assembly in 1917. This means that there will be no rural credits legislation at this session, a majority of the senate thinking that it would be better to get all the information possible before enacting this legislation. Senators Sherard and Banks thought that ~ the rural credits legislation ought to be enacted immediately. He Didn't Worry. Mrs. McCauther?Here is a note saying that if the bill is not paid, the gas will be shut off. Mr. McCauther?Let 'em shut it off. Who cares? "But what will we do?" "Put in electric lights. "But in time bills for them win come in." "Oh, well, probably something else will be invented by that time."? New York Weekly.
